Style.it – Vinitaly 2019: i migliori vini assaggiati nella 53° edizione

di Giordana Talamona

Si è appena conclusa la 53^ edizione di Vinitaly, il Salone Internazionale dei vini e dei distillati, che ha ospitato 4.600 aziende con oltre 16mila etichette in degustazione. Ecco tutto quello che vi siete persi.

[…] In Sicilia Valle dell’Acate ha presentato il nuovo Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Cru Iri da Iri, nato dalla fusione tra Nero d’Avola e Frappato. Il nome del prodotto trae origine da un passo dantesco in cui si descrivono due iridi che si riflettono l’una nell’altra, creando un terzo cerchio di fuoco, iconicamente riportato in etichetta. Naso intenso, sorso succoso, questo rosso può abbinarsi anche a una ricca zuppa di pesce. …

Il Resto del Carlino – Il segreto delle Sette Terre

di Ugo Cénnamo

«Sono le piccole cose a renderle grandi». È la filosofia di Gaetana Jacono, erede di un’antica tradizione tramandata di padre in figlio da sei generazioni, imprenditori capaci di affermare il marchio Valle dell’Acate nel mondo. D’altronde già alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo Vittoria nel Ragusano era il centro siciliano più attivo nell’esportazione del vino destinato al mercato francese. Da allora tale vocazione è stata custodita con la volontà di perfezionare e far conoscere la propria produzione.

Merito di vitigni autoctoni pregiati dai quali si ottengono grandi vini e tra questi il Cerasuolo, che dà lustro alla produzione vinicola siciliana. L’azienda agricola Valle dell’Acate, condotta oggi come ieri dalla famiglia Jacono, è una delle realtà più importanti nel panorama enoico della Sicilia sud orientale, impegnata nel proseguire e valorizzare l’antica tradizione vitivinicola nel triangolo di territorio tra Acate, Comiso e Vittoria. «Da quando mi occupo dell’azienda – spiega Gaetana Jacono – siamo passati da una produzione di 30mila a 400mila bottiglie. Risultati come questi non si raggiungono da soli. Ho due famiglie alle spalle, la mia e la famiglia Ferreri, mosse dalla voglia di migliorare e di innovare sempre». …

MarthaSteward.com – How to Drink Red Wine in the Summer

by Sarah Tracey

Because warm weather isn’t only about rosé.

Temperatures are rising but that doesn’t mean you have to switch to rosé. Red wines still deserve a place on your table, whether that table is indoors or out. The most refreshing way to make red wine a part of your summer routine is to chill it. Not all red wines should be chilled, though: Chilling full-bodied, high tannin, high-alcohol reds like cabernet sauvignon will make them taste astringent and metallic; and savory wines like syrah that have lots of leathery, earthy, or spicy flavors will not drink well when chilled. The best red wines to chill are naturally light in body, low in tannins (the compound found in the seeds, stems, and skins of grapes that can make your mouth feel dry and prickly), and are fruity. Chilling reds like these brings out their liveliness and minimizes the perception of alcohol. (That’s the warming sensation that alcohol in wine can bring and it’s not something we usually desire when it’s hot out!).
The best way to chill a bottle of red for summer sipping? In an ice bucket or cooler. If you can’t tuck the bottle into ice, simply put it in your refrigerator for 45-60 minutes before you plan to drink it. Here, five red wines that are perfect chilled.

[…] FRAPPATO
A fantastic, easy drinking wine from Sicily, frappato is brimming with wild strawberry and red raspberry flavors and aromas, and has an incredibly smooth texture. Try Try Tami By Occhipinti Frappato 2017 ($21.99) or Il Frappato, Valle dell’Acate 2017 ($19.99). Embrace the spirit of Italy in the summertime by pairing a chilled glass of frappato with a fresh summer pasta.

Reviving Italy’s Growth – Valle dell’Acate

1500 km away, in Sicily’s south-east, Gaetana Jacono runs the Valle dell’Acate winery. She is bringing to six generations of wine making tradition new production technologies and distribution approaches that are developing exports to large new markets.
